Cebu City village now has a laid back coworking cafe

Coworking Space in Mutals Hostel is a chill place to get work done, or even just to hang out and do nothing.

Tucked among upscale homes in Villa Aurora is Murals Hostel, Café and Coworking space.

The demand for coworking space has grown all over the Philippines, where there is a vibrant technology and startup sector.

For many companies, it is no longer feasible to rent an entire space for small teams who may work from home sometimes.

But what Murals offers is far from your typical office-type coworking space.

“We didn’t want it to be as uptight or formal as your typical coworking space,” owner Mikhaela Caram said.

What a coworking cafe concept offers is the relaxed atmosphere of a cafe, but the security and amenities of an office.

A possible explanation for the recent growth in coworking cafe concepts in Cebu is that while the startup industry is taking off, and the number of young people getting into freelancing and independent creative work increasing, the standard office-type space might not take off in the unapologetically laid back culture of Cebu.
